Who will be the first selection of the Detroit Lions in the 2025 NFL Draft in April? I know that’s not a question that brims with urgency at this point. It’s still early in the postseason. We don’t even know yet who the top-seeded Lions will be hosting in the NFC Divisional Round. But their

Week 17 became a game that didn’t affect the standings for the Detroit Lions. Win or lose, they had to win in Week 18 to claim the NFC North and the No. 1 seed. As such, many thought the Lions would rest their players against the San Francisco 49ers. As it turned out, head coach

It didn’t take long for the sportsbooks to install the Detroit Lions as big favorites in next weekend’s NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Lions have opened as 8.5-point favorites for Saturday night’s game at Ford Field. BetMGM quickly posted the Lions as big favorites following Washington’s exciting 23-20 win over Tampa

The son of Vikings running backs coach Curtis Modkins

Cross the New England Patriots off the list of potential head coaching destinations for the coveted Detroit Lions assistants Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. On Sunday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news that the Patriots have reached an agreement with former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel to become their new head coach. The move

The Lions are already preparing for the real possibility that defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn could be on his way out. Glenn is one of the top head coach candidates in the NFL after four seasons as DC in Detroit. He’s already interviewed for multiple vacancies including the Bears, Jets and Saints. Regardless of where Glenn

Ever since the Super Bowl became the biggest stage in American sports in 1967, the Lions have not had the best history. However, change has come in Detroit and it warrants a deeper look.  To begin, it took the Lions three years to make their first Super Bowl playoff appearance in 1970. That being said,

It’s been a few years in the making for Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to become a head coach for an NFL team. The only hold up has been about Johnson finding the right fit or not. However, if there’s a job opening, there’s a good chance that there’s some issues with that team

The Detroit Lions could lose one, if not both, of their top coaches at the end of the season regardless of how the playoffs shake out.

The Detroit Lions are the Kings of the North! For the first time in franchise history, the Lions win consecutive NFC North Championships and they’ve clinched the one-seed in the NFC.

The Lions ended up being well-represented on this season’s Associated Press All Pro teams. Four Lions were named to the First Team, including wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, right tackle Penei Sewell, safety Kerby Joseph and punter Jack Fox. Plenty more Lions either made the Second Team or at least received some votes towards All

Lions safety Kerby Joseph was one of, if not the biggest snub from the Pro Bowl roster this season. The Associated Press helped rectify that problem by naming him to the First Team All-Pro. Joseph received 37 first-place votes, leading all safeties. He is joined on the First Team with Green Bay Packers safety Xavier

There are a lot of end-of-season awards and honors lists around these days. The one that matters the most, the one the NFL itself utilizes in its official records, is the Associated Press All-Pro voting results. The 50 AP voters around the country voted following the end of the 2024 regular season, with the results

The Detroit Lions offense this year was remarkably healthy during the 2024 regular season which stood in stark contrast to the defense. See my previous article for the defensive injury recap. There will always be minor injuries but there were no major, season-ending injuries to the offense. Most starters and key reserves were available for

When the Detroit Lions selected running back Jahmry Gibbs in the 2023 NFL Draft, there was a lot of uncertainty around what he was going to be for them. Much of that was due to the Lions already having D’Andre Swift and David Montgomery. At the time, Montgomery had just signed a contract with Detroit

The Lions may not be busy as a whole this week with having a first-round bye, but their top head coach candidates sure will. Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will be part of that group as he is set for five head coach interviews this weekend. Head coach interview schedule for Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn:

More help is on the way for the Detroit Lions defense. The Lions have designated rookie cornerback Ennis Rakestraw to return from the team’s injured reserve list. Rakestraw, the Lions’ second-round pick from Missouri, has not played since suffering a hamstring injury in practice ahead of Week 11. Head coach Dan Campbell indicated earlier this
